The NextGenPower project is about "Meeting the materials and manufacturing challenge for ultra high efficiency pulverized coal-fired power plants with carbon capture and storage" 

NextGenPower is a unique integrated project as it aims to demonstrate new alloys and coatings in boiler, turbine and interconnecting pipework. The concept of NextGenPower is to perform innovative demonstrations that will significantly contribute to the EU target to increase the efficiency in existing and new build pulverized coal power plants.

News 

• On May 22nd and 23rd 2012 the NextGenPower consortium meets for the General Assembly and the Second Annual Workshop in Tomášov, Slowakia. The Welding Institute is the host of the meetings. The workshop is also attended by experts from the MACPLUS and ASPECTS projects in order to exchange approaches and have fruitful discussions on (intermedate) results.

• The NextGenPower project was represented at the FUMAT 2011 conference in Warsaw (22.9-24.9. 2011) with a poster stand in the exhibition area. The poster can be downloaded here.
